Sustainability of Materials and Responsible Print Services: the Green Future of Self-Adhesive Labels

Sustainability and environmental emissions play an ever-more important role in the print and adhesive labels sector.

Consumers and national authorities are requiring, now more than ever, eco-friendly solutions. Brands must therefore adapt to remain competitive in a market in which there is an ever-greater focus on responsible purchasing and on sustainability of packaging.

We are here to help you get to know the foundations of packaging EcoDesign, and how to create sustainable labels for your products.

We know how important sustainability is today, and so we are always looking for new materials and print solutions to create green labels for sustainable packaging

Sustainable Labels: Promoting Recycling and Reducing the Environmental Impact of Packaging

Creating sustainable labels means promoting recyclability and the use of recycled raw material for the labels themselves.

Some labels can be easily removed during the recycling process, while others simplify the process or improve the quality of the recycled material obtained.

This approach allows the efficiency of the recycling processes to be maximised, reducing the consumption of resources and minimising negative impacts on the environment, contributing to the creation of a more sustainable future.

Eco-Design: Sustainability in the Entire Product Value Chain

Eco-design is the multidisciplinary process for developing products with a positive social, environmental and financial impact.

At Eurolabel, we are committed to making every label more sustainable, considering the entire product lifecycle.

From the raw materials to disposal, we take every phase of the lifecycle of the packaging and product into account.

Choosing the right design for your product’s labels leads to numerous benefits: in addition to guaranteeing a sustainable lifecycle for your packaging, its disposal will be simplified and you will make a positive impression on your customers.

Sustainable labels: choose from a huge range of natural materials for your eco-friendly labels

Surprise consumers with sustainable labels made through processing of waste natural material, including:

• Hemp
• Citrus
• Grapes
• Apples
• Barley
• Cotton

We also promote sustainability using recycled, responsibly procured paper.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

The fight against climate change is the most important challenge of our time. Development of sustainable labels does not stop with a search for recyclable or recycled labels, however.

Through the sustainable packaging labels we have developed for our customers, it has been possible to achieve other important goals:

• Solutions compliant with market regulations.
• Personalised communication with customers.
• Protecting product authenticity.
• Reducing carbon footprints.
• Promoting recycling of packaging.
• Promoting inclusive packaging.
